New Member, need expert opinion.
Hello. I've wanted to get into straight razor shaving for a while. Using disposables is emptying out my wallet and they don't shave very well. So I'd like to pick myself up a straight razor. However as I looked around for info and about a razor I'd like, I stumbled upon the Clauss USMC razors. I found these fascinating. I'd knock out two things, my love for the Marine Corps and a straight razor in a single blow. However these are rather old razors, circa the 1st World War. Would it still be usable?

What are your opinions of it? Is it better for me to get a starter kit somewere, learn how to shave and bide my time till the next one shows, or purchase this one, have it honed and buy the necessary strops and brushes?
Sincerely, Josh.
